System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

However, what happened next left everyone speechless.

Chen Xuan held his swords in both hands, crossed them, and suddenly slashed horizontally.

In an instant, two terrifying crescent-shaped sword energies roared out, like two dragons emerging from the sea, carrying earth-shattering power, and head-on met the nine giant swords that swept in from all directions.

"boom!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, and the immense impact spread outwards from the point of collision, creating visible shockwaves.

The dozen or so Donglin Sword Sect disciples were stunned at first when they saw this scene, and then they all looked at each other with mocking disdain.

"He's courting death! He probably has no idea how powerful the famous combined formation of my Donglin Sword Sect is!"

"Hmph, die! After we kill him, we can also snatch the other half of the divine fruit. In that case, our overall strength will definitely reach a new level!"

The dozen or so sect disciples watched coldly, their faces contorted with rage, still convinced that Chen Xuan was merely making a last-ditch effort and that victory was already beckoning to them.

"break"!

Suddenly, the weather changed drastically. The two crescent-shaped sword beams that Chen Xuan unleashed resembled the heaven-cleaving blades wielded by an ancient demon god, rushing forward with overwhelming force.

The speed was so fast that no one could blink before it crashed hard into the nine giant swords that were thrust diagonally towards it, like pillars supporting the sky.

With a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, the nine giant swords, which had gathered most of the spiritual energy of more than ten core disciples of the Donglin Sword Sect and were intended to kill Qinglian and seize the opportunity of the divine fruit in one blow, were instantly destroyed like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments of spiritual energy.

The sword's momentum had not diminished; carrying its remaining power, it instantly swept past three Donglin Sword Sect disciples who were positioned at the front.

With three muffled thuds, blood splattered, and the three disciples collapsed without even having time to scream, their lives extinguished.

"What? This...how is this possible?"

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

The members of the Donglin Sword Sect were completely panicked, and cries of alarm rose and fell.

They never imagined that this incredibly powerful trump card move would be so easily countered by an unknown, white-haired boy.

What terrified them even more was that those two seemingly ordinary sword beams, after destroying the giant sword, were also able to kill three fellow disciples.

This scene left Qinglian, who was standing outside the valley entrance, filled with worry and gazing into the distance, speechless with astonishment.

Even Chen Xuan himself was greatly surprised. He knew his own strength all too well.

Logically speaking, those two sword beams could have destroyed at most nine giant swords, and there was absolutely no way they could have killed three more enemies.

But now, the power of this sword light far exceeds expectations.

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly transmitted his voice to Bai Li: "Bai Li, given my previous strength, those two sword beams, which didn't utilize the Great Dao of the Sword, should have only been able to barely destroy these nine giant swords, and shouldn't have killed three more enemies. But now, the power of these two sword beams far exceeds my expectations. Why is that?"

After a moment's thought, Bai Li immediately replied telepathically, "Master, it must be because you ate that white-scaled dragonfish, which tempered your divine power and meridians, making your overall strength more solid and powerful. Therefore, the power of these two sword beams has also increased by a level."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Immediately, he glanced coldly at the group of Donglin disciples who were slowly retreating in the distance, their faces ashen and their eyes filled with solemnity and fear, and said in a cold voice, "You actually dare to commit this murder and robbery. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

As a disciple of the Nine Heavens Azure Palace, Chen Xuan always valued the bonds of camaraderie among fellow disciples.

Senior Sister Qinglian helped him many times when he first started learning.

Moreover, as the leaders of the male and female disciples, it is their bounden duty to protect the team members.

If it weren't for sensing Senior Sister Qinglian's location using the Mother-Child Dao Talisman, if it had been any later, Senior Sister Qinglian would likely have perished at the hands of these people. Chen Xuan has always been ruthless towards his enemies and would never show the slightest mercy.

"Who...who exactly are you? You only have the strength of the mid-stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, yet you were able to break through our combined formation?" The eldest disciple of the Donglin Sword Sect was a man with narrow and cold eyes.

Previously, he had made outrageous remarks, mocking Chen Xuan for trying to stop the combined giant swords as a futile effort and a death wish.

But now, looking at Chen Xuan again, all that remained in his and his fellow disciples' eyes was disbelief and deep fear.

“My name is Chen Xuan, a third-generation disciple of Xuanqing Palace. Of course, you probably haven’t heard of me.”

"After all, if you were a local force from Qingtian County, I doubt you would dare to lay a hand on my senior sister." Chen Xuan's expression was cold and stern, and his aura rose, seemingly overwhelming the entire scene, like an inviolable war god looking down at these treacherous individuals.

Originally, these Donglin Sword Sect disciples thought they would offer treasures to save their lives, swearing an oath to Heaven as proof. However, as Qinglian flew closer and quickly recounted the previous conflict, everyone's expressions changed.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, quite surprised that the Heavenly Oath had been blocked again.

Upon hearing that Qinglian had revealed the secret of this place to the white-haired man, the disciples of the Donglin Sword Sect immediately sent a telepathic message to their fellow disciples, preparing for a desperate counterattack.

"kill!"

"You adulterous couple, prepare to die!"

Seeing how quickly these people reacted, Chen Xuan immediately snorted and drew his sword, transforming into a phantom as he charged forward.
